This Challenge has been set by seven mental health charities who are working together to improve mental health across England.

Between us, we know what support people need, how services can be improved and we also know that better care is often better value for money. In return for councillors agreeing to champion mental health, we will provide support and resources to help you make the changes you identify.

"One in ten children experience a mental health issue. And as with all members in our society, they deserve good and accessible mental health services. There is a lot of work already being undertaken to ensure a comprehensive service suitable for all but there is much more to do. Through working with partners and keeping mental health high on the agenda, I hope we can all improve services and support for both children and adults."
